    Galfand Berger 2014 Settlements and Verdicts Overview

    Too often, corporations and insurance companies have teams of lawyers and deep pockets protecting their interests. Who is fighting for you?  Since 1947, Philadelphia personal injury lawyers at Galfand Berger have been the voice for injured workers, consumers and individuals in our courts.  We are proud of the recoveries we’ve made in 2014 on behalf of our injured clients.  While these recoveries will never make our clients whole, they help calm some of the medical, emotional and economic turmoil that a devastating injury brings with it.  Below are just a sampling of our firm recoveries:
